Two of the students on the bus said the bus driver apparently ran a red light at the intersection of Wai'alae and Ninth avenues as she was talking on a bus radio to another bus driver.

The drivers from both vehicles were injured, but not seriously, emergency response workers said.

All the students were from 'Anuenue School, a kindergarten through 12th grade Hawaiian language immersion school.

Emergency response workers said none of the children appeared to have been seriously injured. As a precaution, many of the children were treated for possible neck and back injuries.
